They are special in the form that they are still disciples under Xuan Hao, while also being elders of the sect, meaning they hold two positions at the same time so to speak- Or in Chu Yang's case, three. (Prime Disciple, Personal Disciple and Elder). The requirement to be counted is to officially be recognized as a disciple or elder of the sect and have that position in the sect. For example, Yi Min is not an elder of the sect and is thus not counted.
will explore more indepth when we get to reaching realms above Dao Seed Realm, but a small spoiler, you will have to condense layers to progress beyond the Early Stage of the Dao Seed Realm. Condensing layers around the dao seed is not the same as merging a dao into your domain.
yes and to the second question about qi spring, yes
Good idea! Specialized branch sects are a great idea for the growth of the sect in the future ^^
you can, but condensing layers around the dao seed will be impossible to stop at a certain point and they will condense even without you doing anything. Even if it will end up killing you.
Hm... Will have to read the novel, as it has happened in later chapters.
How long indeed... First thought it would end at around a 1000 chapters and now I'm wondering if it will be 2000... To answer your question, I have no idea when the novel will come to an end, as I have so much more I want to do with it...
fixed! :D

Good idea, think it will be in form of something like a law enforcement hall in charge of safety and so on inside the sect.
After all, the Alchemy Hall, Formation Hall and Blacksmithing Hall were not where the largest portion of the sect's disciples and elders resided. Instead, the largest portion of the sect's disciples and elders were focused entirely on cultivation and improving their cultivation realm. Not focusing on any side professions like alchemy or blacksmithing, as they found it a waste of time compared to focusing on increasing their cultivation realm, something that had become more so the case after the addition of the Dao Enlightenment Monument.

That is related to something that is barely hinted at in the novel so far, so no comment in that regard. If it helps. No, not the numerical value like his disciples.
